Celebrating cycling—Bike Month is back!

June is Bike Month, and the Town of Oakville is once again excited to join communities across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) in celebrating cycling as a fun, healthy, and sustainable way to get around. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just curious about getting started, Bike Month is the perfect time to explore the benefits of riding a bike.

Try out a bike for the first time, brush up on your skills, or simply enjoy the outdoors on two wheels. With events happening throughout the month, there are plenty of opportunities to connect, learn, and ride in Oakville.
